Chapter 4
"Where did you head off to in such a hurry last night?" Sketchy asked as he and Alec pulled up to a checkpoint.
"I didn’t feel so good so I went home and crashed early, " Alec lied as best he could. He told Max he wouldn't tell anyone about the night before and he wasn't about to go back on his word. Thoughts and images of the night before filled his head and he listened with his enhanced hearing to what was going on up ahead to distract himself.
"Man, these damn checkpoints are everywhere now no thanks to that Eyes-Only, " Sketchy complained.
Things had been tough for transgenics ever since Manticore was burned to the ground. Transgenics like Joshua had to stay below ground and the others didn't know what to do. If they were smart they'd get the hell out of Seattle and head to Canada.
Alec heard Sketchy sigh heavily and glanced at him, "What?"
"I think Normal likes to see me beat up. This package needs to be delivered in the worst part of sector five, " Sketchy wined.
Alec reached out for the package, "Where is it?" He looked at the address and noticed it was a place he'd delivered to before. It was full of bad asses that like to start fights with pretty much anyone. "Don't worry about it. We'll just go in and out no problem, " Alec replied calmly. He wasn't the least bit worried about it. If they started trouble he believed he could handle pretty much anything they dished. That's when his back reminded him he wasn't in the best shape.
"You alright man?" Sketchy asked noticing Alec's pained face.
"Yeah, I'm fine, " Alec replied dryly. Max sure as hell has a claw…I'll bet my back looks like I've got gills.
They moved up towards the sector cop.
"Sector pass please, " the cop asked.
Both Alec and Sketchy pulled out their Jam Pony messenger passes and showed them to the cop.
"Jam Pony messengers, " Alec said professionally.
The cop nodded and waved them on.
"Thank you, " Sketchy said.
They moved on into sector five.
"Where's that last package supposed to be delivered?" Max asked Original Cindy as they cut a corner into an alley and stopped.
Original Cindy took the package out of her backpack and looked at the address. She rolled her eyes and sighed, "Dumb ass Sketchy and Alec…this is one of there packages. It's a delivery of two packages to the same address. We got one and they got the other."
Max rolled her eyes and asked irritated, "Where's the address?" This was what she needed. A reason to be mad at Alec to distract her from pleasant thoughts of him and this was as good a reason as any.
"To the worst damn part of sector five, " Original Cindy said handing Max the package.
Max shrugged, "No problem, I think I can handle anything they throw at us. Lets go." She took the package and put it in her backpack.
They rode back out onto the street and headed to the address.
Alec and Sketchy came up to the building with the address on the package. Sketchy pulled out the package and looked at the address then to the building. "Yep, this is it this is the address."
Alec got off his bike and propped it against a phone poll. "Okay, lets get this over with." He headed towards the door of the place and knocked.
Sketchy was still standing at his bike with the package. Alec turned and rolled his eyes, "Bring the damn package you pussy."
The door swung open and a couple of guys emerged in the door. Alec turned back and smiled, "Hey guys what's up, uh we got a package for you…" Alec waved for Sketchy to bring him the package. Quickly, Sketchy brought him the package. Alec took it and handed it towards them, "Jam Pony messengers we just need a signature and we'll be on our way." He smiled in a cocky way.
One of the men took the package and another one was about to sign it when the one holding the package stopped him, "Hey, we're supposed to receive two packages…we only got one. We're getting gypped."
Alec sighed heavily, "Why do this always have to happen. Can I just come to this sector one day without kicking some ones ass?" He knew what was coming next…a fight.
"This is just a misunderstanding we can always go get the other portion of your deal…" Sketchy was cut off when one of the men reached out and grabbed him by the throat.
"Ah!" Sketchy screeched.
The others pushed Alec back into the alley with four men on him. Alec held his hands up in defense, "Come on guys I can promise this is not something you want to do."
"We're gonna kick your ass chump, " one of them said.
They surrounded him like they were in a bullring and Alec was the bull. One by one they started to attack and Alec counteracted with ease knocking three of them down. The others that were holding Sketchy down joined in and Alec also took care of them as well. All the men looked to be down for the count and Alec made his way over to Sketchy.
"You okay man?" Alec asked patting him on the shoulder.
"Alec!" Sketchy yelled as one of the men hit Alec in the back with a four by four. Alec did flinch, but quickly recovered and knocked the four by four out of the mans hand and pinned him to the wall and kicked him in the gut. The others came up behind Alec and grabbed his arms and pulled him away from the man. The man against the wall spit some blood out of his mouth.
"You're gonna pay for that little boy, " he said picking up the four by four again.
Fast as lightening Alec twisted his way out of the grip of the men holding him and once again knocked the four by four out of the mans hand. At the same time another man hit Alec in the back again sending him to the ground. The men gathered around him and was about to gang up on him when someone yelled, "Hey!"
It was Max jumping off her bike and lunging toward the crowd of men. She hit the ground and rolled into a fighting stance. She looked down to see Alec barely able to get up. That worried her, Alec was a well-trained X5 and six guys shouldn't have been able to beat him down.
"Sketchy you okay?" Original Cindy asked coming up to him.
Sketchy nodded, "Yeah, what the hell does Max thinks she's doing?" He looked over to Max and Alec being surrounded by the men. Alec was still down on the ground and Max was standing over him as if protecting him.
"Well, looky here, if it ain't Barbie, " one of the men said.
Max flinched, "Barbie has blonde hair moron." She attacked them one by one knocking them down. They were steelheads so they were a little harder to keep knocked down. The men got a couple of hits in, but at the end of the fight Max was the only one standing. She headed towards Alec still in her fighting stance to make sure she wouldn't be attacked from behind like Alec obviously did. One near her started to stand up but she kicked him in the gut and yelled, "Stay down asshole you'll live longer!"
Alec groaned in pain as he stood from the ground. Jesus I think she left some nails in my back! Out of the corner of his eye he saw Max, Sketchy and Original Cindy heading toward him. He put his hands up as Max reached him and was a little shock when she took them in her own and asked him if he was alright. All he could do was nod. The feel of their hands touching was too distracting.
"You sure you're alright?" Max asked more concerned than usual for his safety. He was an X5, but he just got his ass kicked by five or six steelheads. Something was definitely wrong if he couldn't handle them. Suddenly he pulled away from her and turned away from her running his hands through his hair. That's when she saw several blood trails up and down his back. While he was fighting they must've been reopened.
"Come on Sketchy lets get back to work, " Original Cindy said shoving Sketchy along with her as they headed back to their bikes.
Max and Alec stood in silence for a few moments. Alec still had his back turned to Max. Max stared into his back noticing that his breathing had returned to somewhat normal. Cautiously, she stepped closer to him and said, "You really should get those cleaned up."
He turned and came face to face with her. He didn't have the strength to step back. In reality he didn't want to move he wanted to stay right where he was…but closer. "Yeah, wouldn't want them to get infected would we, " he said his breath sliding across her face he was so close.
They stared at each other for what felt like an eternity. They were brought out of their revere when Sketchy yelled to them, "Hey, you guys coming?"
Max looked over her shoulder at Sketchy then back to Alec who appeared to have never taken his eyes off her. "Yeah, we're coming, " she said quietly looking up at Alec. She quickly turned and walked away going to her bike. Alec closed and wiped his eyes and followed her in suit.
